Pros

Food, Insurance, Office environment, highly professional colleagues you can learn from, lots of technologies to work with.

Cons

Depending in which part of the company you work for you'll see a different work style. I worked in a start-up which was pretty chaotic, with high ambitions but without a clear understanding how to achieve them. In work/life balance, work outweighs.
